    mm, page_alloc: drop should_suppress_show_mem · 2c029a1e
    Michal Hocko authored
    should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of
    show_mem on large NUMA systems.  Things have changed since then though.
    Namely c78e9363 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during
    show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably.
    
    Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from
    the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats.
    
    Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially
    interesting information about allocation failures.  We have seen a bug
    report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is
    only
    
    kernel: [2032243.696888] qlge 0000:8b:00.1 ql1: Could not get a page chunk, i=8, clean_idx =200 .
    kernel: [2032243.710725] swapper/7: page allocation failure: order:1, mode:0x1084120(GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_COMP)
    
    without an additional information for debugging.  It would be great to see
    the state of the page allocator at the moment.
